There has been so much out and out garbage on this subject that it would be nice to see a little science from 
those who condemn Formic Acid.

If Formic Acid treatments are so bad, then there is one very large database to see if that is true, since it has 
been in use ever since Tracheal mites. Canada has been a test bed for it under Medhat's leadership, and I trust 
him much more than off-the-wall suppositions and prejudice that have peppered this subject so far.

Just a little informed discussion here, please.
